The CC-BY-NC-SA license it is under makes forking it less desirable. In particular the noncommercial-only use for forks. You might think "great, we don't want to sell it anyways!" but (and IANAL..) I think this affects using this product in any commercial capacity, such as running it on a company device, or using it for 'business' (calling clients from the device, etc). That's my understanding at least, and would like to be corrected if I am wrong.
When CopperheadOS (the company) dies, then their product is doomed to be a novelty thing that most folks cannot use due to their selection of license.
- aaomidi 8y agoFair enough
- synchronise 8y agoHas the code always been licensed CC-BY-NC-SA or is that a recent change?
- milcron 8y agoIt wasn't at first. The change happened over a year ago.
- ATsch 8y agoI think if nothing else, this whole thing is a lesson in why non-free/non-OSI licenses are a bad idea.
